✝
Anderson Sheun
25 September 2009 · Smallholding Wag-‘n-Bietjie, Bronkhorstspruit · Gauteng · Shot
Age 18. Two armed attackers breached the security measures by cutting through an electric fence encircling the smallholding before forcing their entry into the residential homestead through a kitchen window. Once inside the home, the criminals confronted the family and ruthlessly opened fire, shooting Sheun's forty-seven-year-old father, Robert Anderson—the owner of a local construction company—twice in the stomach. Sheun's mother, Jeanine Anderson, was forced to watch helplessly as the gunmen then shot her eighteen-year-old son from behind, inflicting a fatal wound that ended his life on the scene. Robert Anderson survived the initial double gunshot wounds to his abdomen following emergency medical treatment. An exhaustive investigation into subsequent law enforcement and judicial registries indicates that no successful arrests or formal criminal convictions were ever finalized against the perpetrators.
